District officials denounced the actions of board member Marc Cooper, saying he misrepresented its curriculum and violated bylaws, as well as the state education code.
On Tuesday, district officials denounced the actions of board member Marc Cooper, saying he misrepresented its curriculum and violated bylaws, as well as the state education code. They voted 4-1 to censure him, with Cooper casting the lone no vote. The decision was driven by a meeting Cooper attended at Seven Trees Library on Sept. 7, along with the group Informed Parents of Silicon Valley--an organization openly against teaching critical race theory and gender expansive education in schools.
"You're intentionally defaming me and putting yourself in a position to be sued for defamation," he told the board. "If you vote to censure me and recommend my resignation, you're placing yourself in that place."Cooper said he attended the community meeting to bring parents' attention to failing test scores.Cooper said the board is tying him to accusations it's making against Informed Parents of Silicon Valley, when he was just invited to be a guest speaker.
Sanchez cited San Jose Spotlight's Sept. 1 article, which quoted the flyer as saying, "Our schools have fallen prey to a dangerous agenda pushed by politically driven educators seeking to indoctrinate our children at the expense of your family's values and beliefs." "Those are students that we represent and serve in the classroom," she said. " a number of stances to ensure the inclusion and safety of all students over the years and whether or not personal or political beliefs apply, we have an obligation to represent the district accurately."
Rev. Jeff Moore, head of NAACP San Jose/Silicon Valley, attended the meeting and was furious with Cooper and his alleged association with Informed Parents of Silicon Valley.
